Texans agreed to terms with P Shane Lechler, formerly of the Raiders, to a three-year, $5.5 million contract with a $1 million signing bonus.

Although Lechler is coming off a down season, punters don't usually fall off the cliff at age 36. We suspect he has several good years left. Lechler is a nine-time Pro Bowler and six-time first-team All Pro. He's led the NFL in yards-per-punt average five times. Lechler looks like a great pickup for Houston.

Reed admitted he was still in pain after Thursday's practice, but it looks like he plans to play through it this week. Reed will likely be listed as questionable when the injury report comes out later Friday and is shaping up as a game-time decision.

Siemian practiced on Wednesday and Thursday, and it sounds like he will get in some work Friday as well. Klis said Siemian's mobility will be the key to his availability. After Paxton Lynch looked not ready to play last week, the Broncos need Siemian against the Titans.

Isaiah Crowell has found zero success behind a crumbling offensive line over the last two months, but we have seen Griffin's mobility positively impact the running game in the past. It is possible we see a similar situation play out in Cleveland, but the way Griffin helps the running game is by being a threat to keep the ball himself, and it is unlikely the Browns want to put the brittle quarterback in that situation too often. That said, Kevin Hogan had some success running the zone read against Cincinnati the last time these two teams met. Even so, Crowell will remain a low-floor RB3.

Bills coach Rex Ryan said Sammy Watkins (foot) and Robert Woods (knee) will be "ready to roll" Week 14 against the Steelers.

Both were listed as questionable, but there really is not much doubt about either's status. Watkins will be an upside WR3 play as his snap share continues to grow, and Woods will be a low-ceiling WR4 against the Steelers.

Ryan Mathews (knee) was listed as questionable for Week 14 against the Redskins.

Coach Doug Pederson labeled Mathews "ready to go" on Thursday. Mathews should return to his lead role, but the Eagles have been unable to establish a running game while being blown out the last two weeks. Mathews will be a risky FLEX play in his return.

Jordan Matthews (ankle) was listed as questionable for Week 14 against the Redskins.

He should play after being upgraded to full in Thursday's practice. The Redskins have struggled against slot receivers this season, and Matthews is one of the few reliable options in the passing game. He is a solid WR3.

Watkins will likely be listed as questionable on the final report, but he is fully expected to play. He could also see a larger snap share after increasing his practice reps this week. Watkins is an upside WR3.
